  "We drive as long as we feel like it and are healthy." In June 2021, we said goodbye to friends and families in Basel. This sentence now catches up with us again and occupies our heads longer than we would like. In the end, we choose love. Two months ago we wrote to you from the beautiful house of Christian and his family in Abu Dhabi. Today we live in the middle of tea plantations in the south of Sri Lanka. We are happy to tell you about this trip. Anna has created a little film again. Of course, there are also pictures below. In the Emirates, we live in luxury. It's a stark contrast to our lives last year. Anna notices the expensive cars. Our bike races along on the paved roads. No pothole. No obstacle. In Dubai we are welcomed by a German family. Anna experiences Halloween and enjoys the luxury of the beautiful house. By bike we continue towards Abu Dhabi. At Love Lake we camp for one night. A family from the Philippines is so touched by our story that they spontaneo

  "Your heart and my heart are very, very old friends." The Persian poet Hafis wrote these sentences over 700 years ago. Even today they describe very well how we experience Iran. The whole country seems to us like a great school of hospitality. If all people in the world took a course in hospitality in Iran, there would be no war. Two months ago we crossed the border to Iran in the south of Armenia. Today we are writing to you from Abu Dhabi where we live with friends in a beautiful house directly at the sea. We are happy to share our experiences in Iran with you. On the road, we have experienced some really curious things. And in the houses we were told many exciting stories. On a sunny morning we leave our camp in the mountains of Armenia. The descent from 2,000 meters is fast and beautiful. Down in the valley we stop in front of a military post. To the left the road leads to Bergkarabach. Only a week later, armed conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan take place in thi

  "The guest is God!" With this deeply religiously rooted conviction, many families in the Caucasus welcome us. They spontaneously open their house and invite us. We realize: we like to travel with these divine blessings and enjoy the nature and the warmth of the people.  Two and a half months ago we came to Georgia. Today we write to you high up from the mountains in the south of Armenia. There we are watching leopards on their way from Turkey to Iran.  We are happy to share with you what we experienced in the Caucasus. Our travelogs are mainly about people and their stories. Besides that, we experience an incredible amount every day. Too much for this report.  "Phew, we were lucky again!", Carsten is happy when he is standing in front of the door of our host family in Tbilisi with two repaired bicycles. In one day, he visited eight bicycle stores in the Georgian capital. At one he found a used rim for Anna's bike. At another, a new inner tube. And Irakli at Bi
